But that is only part of the weed picture on the north tonight. Last night the Customs Department intercepted a major marijuana move apparently coming out of the Corozal Free Zone. Between 7:45 and 8:00 last night, Customs Officers saw three men bounding over the free zone fence near the Las Vegas Casino. They also hurled two backpacks over the fence. They dashed off when they saw law enforcement approaching and customs retrieved the bags. They found 18 and one quarter pounds of marijuana inside. The three men escaped into the bushes and could not be found. One man was found in the area, a lone Cuban – but police believe he didn't have anything to do with the weed and was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. He has been turned over to the Immigration Department. So, in total that is 34 and one quarter pounds of marijuana intercepted in the north in less than 24 hours. Police are investigating to see if there is a connection between the two busts. They do believe the weed is coming across from Mexico.
